According to China Economic Net (CEN), a member of YDA Dr. Hashaam Khalid who works at Services Hospital Lahore said that China has sent all required medical supplies.

In a situation when international borders are closed, a team of eight Chinese doctors came to Pakistan for a two-week visit. And their expertise is proving just like a blessing to us as they fought on the front line. They have the experience and know how to deal with this disease, Hashaam said.

“For this timely and useful assistance, we are thankful to the Chinese government, Chinese doctors, people and especially the health officials who are visiting here. I want to ensure that our morale is high and I hope Pakistan will be the second country in the world after China that defeats coronavirus”, he told CEN.
